Secrets, Lies & Trying Times

IX

A few weeks go by and Demi and Tori are out and about, getting last minute things for Everette's party tomorrow. He decided that he wanted something at the house, in the backyard with all of his friends, so Demi and Trey are throwing him a pool party. The boys are with Trey and Brooklyn's with Demi and Tori. After going to several stores, they finally make it back to the house to begin decorating. Trey and the boys are still out which is perfect. They can easily get decorating done without any distractions.

A few hours later and Everette's teammates and friends from school begin to show up. Trey is some times a big kid himself, so he's been entertaining the kids, and making sure they're having a good time. When Odell finally shows up, he joins in on the fun. Demi notices Trey steps away for a while to answer his phone. As he's wrapping up the call, Demi goes over to see if everything's okay.

"Everything okay?" She asks.

"Yeah. Everything's fine."

"Who was that?"

"Cain. Just briefing me on this morning's meeting."

"That couldn't wait till tomorrow? It's your son's birthday. You've been so busy the past couple weeks, I think you at least owe him a day of undivided attention."

"I've been out making us money so that we can afford all this shit. Okay it was a 3 minute call. I'm sure Everette's not trippin over 3 minutes." Demi rolls her eyes. "Are we done here?"

Demi walks off instead of answering the question. She checks the table where the food is to see what needs to be refilled. She heads to the kitchen with Tori following close behind.

"D, what happened?"

"Nothing. It's fine."

"No it's not. I've noticed somethings been wrong all day."

"I don't know. Maybe I'm just over thinking things."

"Over thinking what, exactly?"

"I just get the feeling that something's not right. I feel like Trey could be having an affair."

"And what makes you think this?"

"He's been kind of distant lately. His week long business trip to New York he just came back from. Taking more calls in private. But given the profession he's in, I just don't want to accuse him of cheating and he's actually doing business, ya know."

"I'll just leave you with this. A woman's intuition is almost never wrong. I wouldn't immediately accuse him just yet. Talk to him."

"I will. Tonight, after the party."

"Good."

While they're in the kitchen getting more food, they hear the front door open and close. No one comes in the kitchen, so they figure it was just a parent.

---------------------
While Demi and Tori are still in the kitchen, Odell and Trey take some time out to throw more food on the grill. Odell happens to look over and he can't believe his eyes.

"The fuck is she doing here?" Trey looks up and he's dumbfounded. "You invited that broad?"

"Hell no i didn't invite her."

"The fuck is she doin here? I thought you was done fuckin that hoe?" Trey shakes his head. "You still fuckin? You betta get her outta here before Demi spots her."

"How am I gonna do that without it being noticeable."

"I don't know, but you better figure it the fuck out." Odell says before walking away from the grill and back out to go play with the kids.

Trey and Secret lock eyes and she gives him a smirk. Everette looks over and notices that's the same woman he saw his dad walking away from that day at practice.

"Hey baby. How much longer till the food is ready? We have some starving kids waiting for more food." Demi asks as she and Tori walk up to Trey.

"Not long baby. Here." He says handing her the spatula. "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?"

"I gotta get something from inside the house. It won't take long. I promise."

"You just asking to have the house burned down." Tori says.

"T, shut it. I know what I'm doing." Demi retorts.

"Yeah, okay. We'll see."

"D...don't burn my house down." Trey says.

"Guys, chill. I won't. Now go do what you gotta do."

Trey walks into the house, knowing that secret would follow right behind him.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Secret? How do you even know where my house is?"

"Hmph. You don't sound so happy to see me."

"I'm not."

Oh so last night when you were sending dick pics and telling me how much you miss this pussy was all a lie then?"

"This is my son's birthday party. This is my home. My wife and children are here. The fuck is wrong with you."

"Oh, the wife you told me you were leaving."

"Pussy will make you say some crazy things. Now suggest you leave right now."

"Or else what..." she says groping his manhood.

"He pushes her back. "I need you to leave."

"But you don't want me to leave. I know you don't. So just give me what I clearly came here for and we'll be all good."

"Girl, yo ass is crazy if you think I'm bout to fuck you in my house."

"You have no problem fuckin me anywhere else."

"I'm not gonna ask you again. I will have you escorted out."

Secret smirks. "Okay Tremaine. Have it your way. You know where to find me." Secret then walks out of the house, leaving Trey pondering. He sighs before going back outside.
